Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥18 years
  • Acute primary ICH demonstrated with CT scan, within 6 h of symptom onset.
  • Two systolic BP measurements ≥140 mmHg recorded \>2 min apart to qualify for enrolment.
  • Onset ≤ 24 h prior to randomization

Exclusion

  • Contraindication to BP reduction i.e., severe arterial stenosis or high-grade stenotic valvular heart disease
  • Indication for urgent BP reduction i.e., hypertensive encephalopathy, or aortic dissection
  • Definite evidence that the ICH is secondary to underlying cerebral or vascular pathology, i.e., AVM, aneurysm, tumour, trauma, vasculitis, or hemorrhagic transformation of an ischemic infarct
  • Previous ischemic stroke within 90 days of current event NB: Prior ICH is not an exclusion criterion
  • Patients with suspected secondary cause of ICH.
  • Planned surgical resection of hematoma NB: Extraventricular Drain placement is not an exclusion criterion
  • Contraindication to CT perfusion imaging (i.e. contrast allergy, metformin use or Creatinine \>160 μmol/l)
  • Patients with pre-existing disability and dependence (defined as a pre-morbid modified Rankin Scale score ≥3) will be excluded
  • Patients with life expectancy \<6 months due to pre-morbid conditions/terminal illness
  • Patients with known definite contraindications to MRI (pacemaker, ferrous metallic foreign body)
